Citalopram Hydrobromide - Overview

Citalopram is a medication used for the treatment of symptoms of depression in some people.

What Is Citalopram Used For?

Citalopram, marketed under the brand name Celexa, is a medication used for treating depression in some people. Citalopram, like escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), sertraline (Zoloft), belongs to a class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) medications - slightly different from desvenlafaxine (Pristiq). Citalopram is thought to work by increasing the activity of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the central nervous system and is thought to be somewhat fast acting. Citalopram does this by blocking the reuptake of serotonin, also known as 5-HT, by neurons without impacting other neurotransmitters such as dopamine or norepinephrine with any significant effect - unlike bupropion (Wellbutrin).

Citalopram - Dosage and Cost

Citalopram medication is generally prescribed to be taken once per day, with or without food. Citalopram is frequently prescribed at a starting dose of citalopram 20 mg once daily although the regimen chosen depends on the judgement of the medical provider and the health needs of the patient. Citalopram hydrobromide itself is found as a white-colored powder. After oral administration, citalopram is excreted in both the feces and the urine. While branded citalopram is expensive, generic citalopram tablets are affordable, costing approximately 15 cents per citalopram 20 mg tablet at most pharmacies in the United States. Citalopram coupons are also available from a variety of sources and some insurance plans will also help cover costs associated with a citalopram tablet prescription. Citalopram prescription medication is available as citalopram 10 mg tablets, citalopram 20 mg tablets and citalopram 40 mg tablets.
